DLTK's Educational Activities
Kite Craft

Although this kite won't actually fly. It is a happy reminder of the times you and the kids did get to fly one.

The kite paper craft is a simple cut and paste project for children to make while learning about the letter K or for a weather (wind) theme.

Materials:

a printer,
paper,
scissors,
glue,
something to colour with.

Instructions:

Print out both template pages.
Colour pieces, as necessary. (For a change of pace, try using different mediums than you typically do, such as paints or pastels)
Cut out the pieces. This step may require adult assistance.
Glue template pieces together. You can substitute real ribbons or tissue paper for the template bows.
Cut a piece of yarn or string and attach to the kite (optional)

Templates:

Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).

Template #1: color or B&W

Template #2: color or B&W

About the Artist/Author:

Hello! I'm Leanne, the creative mind behind coloring.ws. I love nothing more than enjoying a warm cup of tea and a quiet day with a good friend. Here’s a bit more about me:

Things I Love:

Drawing: My happy place is with a pencil in hand, bringing ideas to life on paper.
Creative Writing: I love using my imagination to create delightful stories and playful rhymes for kids.
Early Childhood Education: I absolutely adore those early, eager-to-learn years with kids. Their curiosity and enthusiasm are infectious!
History: Exploring the past helps me understand the present and dream about the future.

Things I Have a Love/Hate Relationship With:

Technology: I love how it connects us and makes things easier, but why does it have to change so quickly?
Trivia Nights: I'm your go-to person for fun facts, yet somehow, I always end up in second or third place. Frustrating!
Gardening: I like to think I have a green thumb, but it has a few brown speckles. My plants and I are working on it.
Animals: I adore my pets and they bring me so much joy, but oh, the chores! Why can’t they clean up after themselves?

I earned my degree back in the early '90s, and as a lifelong learner, I continue to delve into the things I love. This includes technology (though I struggle to keep up!), art, early childhood education, history, and mythology as it relates to sociology.
